I still can't believe it! My husband is leading prayer time, leading scripture reading...I am still standing with my jaw dropped and my eyes wide. And I have a continuous smile on my face today.
This morning, we knelt before the Lord, hands tightly woven, and prayed again. My husband thanked God for me, for our children, and then asked for God's guidance in our lives.
And at the kitchen table with my husband's grandmother's King James bible from 1942 open, we read God's word. I had asked my husband if he would like me to read, and his response: "No, I'm the spiritual head of our home now. I will read."
So I placed my head against his warm chest and felt his deep voice vibrating against my ear as he read the verses one by one. I sorta giggled inside: My hair had to have the WORST case of bed head ever, but no matter...we studied God's word and looked into each other's eyes and held each other close.
So THIS is what it feels like to have a husband who is following Christ? I love it. I NEVER want it to end. I want to be in my husband's presence every moment of the day now...and I want to please him like I've never longed to do before.
Praise God! God has come...God has spoken...and my husband opened wide his heart and allowed God in.
And...today is our 17th wedding anniversary!
I can't imagine how the next 17 years will bring such joy! It's almost like I can't contain my happiness now, and I want to shout to everyone: "My husband loves the Lord! And my husband loves me!"
Lord, may I not say anything or do anything that might hinder my husband's newfound faith in you. May I be a gentle, loving, and honoring wife to him all the remaining days of our marriage. And when my husband messes up -- because he will -- may I learn to forgive him quickly and encourage him in his walk, and in our marriage. Amen.
Hebrews 11:1:
"Now faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
